Overview

What it is

A cream formulated to exfoliate, revitalize, and provide antioxidant protection for the skin. It contains a combination of 15 percent alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), along with antioxidants.

Key ingredients and their functions

Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Extract - antioxidant
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract - skin soother
Glycerin - humectant
Squalane - moisturizer
Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract - exfoliating agent
Salicylic Acid - exfoliating agent
Tocopheryl Acetate - antioxidant
Ascorbyl Palmitate - antioxidant

How it works

The cream appears to be designed to improve skin appearance through exfoliation and hydration while providing antioxidant protection. Alpha-hydroxy acids such as those from Sugar Cane Extract help to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells from the surface. Beta-hydroxy acid like Salicylic Acid also contributes to exfoliation but may penetrate deeper into the pores. Antioxidants like Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, and Ascorbyl Palmitate aim to protect the skin from oxidative stress. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract helps in soothing the skin, while Squalane and Glycerin provide moisturization, maintaining skin hydration.
